Everlasting Quest

Once upon a time, there was a boy. He was used to live happily in his small home. One night he woke up in a dream, and decided to do something good for his country and people. He was no special, except that he had a burning passion to fly.He decided to become a warrior, but his fate betrayed him. He was frail in his early days, so he trained, and trained a lot, and became a fighter. His friends were used to taunt him while he was weak, so he made the mounted MOON as his best friend, and vowed to him that he would never look back! Times changed and he became a person so mighty that everyone respected him. But however he grew, he was lone and empty, he never had anyone to tell his feelings, so he drew his expressions and led them fly, hoping that someday someone will find them to come and hold him.His childhood was with him, wherever he went. He decided to conceal himself, his desire to fly away, behind his goodness and fragility.Noone knew that the boy nextdoor to them is not just a boy, but a warrior himself hidden away.But one cold night, the times called his courage, he let his inner desires fly away and decended into an endless quest to conquer his destiny, his path led by a PEGASUS, with wind as his guardian and and the path lit by the shining MOON, who was his best friend. Difficulties bowed infront of him and he strode across the darkness of the night, only to meet a glittering reflection of himself, but a million times beautiful. He thought his quest has came to an end and he has met his destiny.But, as the fate is, it never stops to test the will of the warriors. It summoned a devil behind him silently. And just as the boy was going to touch his reflection, to feel himself surrounded by the cool divine winds, the fate interviened.The DEVIL stabbed him in the back, in a flash, the glorious reflection shattered to a shiny haze, right in front of his eyes.He felt the pain, but he did not bled, he just had the feeling that he would never be happy again. But being warrior, he fought back with all his might, and slashed the devil into two. To his surprise, into split into two. As harder he fought, his sword gleaming in the moonlight, his enemies doubled their numbers.Soon he was surrounded, with darkness of evil, he, having exhausted himself, but unwilling to give up. His wounds gaping, he decided to close his eyes and brace the very welcomed death in the hands of enemies, the pride of being a martyr. He felt the enemies crowding him over, his body burning with pain, yet unwilling to give up.The End was near...But then, his innerself echoed and his eyes blurred, his beloved reflection came to life once again, and held his hands, and the darkness glid away, and brightness filled the sky.His eyes were not open yet, his body had pain, his wounds were burning, but there was no blood. Still, he saw with his half open eyes, a shade of wings and felt the warmth of the sky. Then with a sudden rush, he felt himself soaring high in the sky, the passion he ever dreamt of. He saw his beautiful companion, right besides him, with its beautiful silver wings spanned graciously. He looked towards the sunshine and then his dream ended. Then he came to his senses again. He was still in the darkness, surrounded, but now the light was inside him. He fought back, and his every blow became a shining light. Soon he was left with a glittering shine near the horizon. The sun was rising and he walked towards it, his sword swung on his back and his dream in his eyes. He stopped and looked in the sky, up above there was a divine wind with an illusion of his reflection. He smiled again, though his burning wounds, made it difficult for him. In a hope to meet his reflection again, he decided, that his quest will never end. and he started to stride again....With Hopes in his eyes, wounds on his body and smile on his face, he is still walking.....you know who he is?????

He is RAPTOR, the person you thought you know.........

A Testament to those who were with me in my first year!!...in my own way!

The Battle is over!! An entire world of dream remains lain into dust and rubble, finally, the long night is over...There is a deathly calmness, broken silence and an occassional screeching wail of the sad wind, mourning on the depart of the warriors who belonged to this field.....

There is no blood on the field and the remaining traces of the war, a few ravaging fires burning throughout the scene, are now getting faded by the rain, which makes me feel like the time is weeping.

Time will consume these signs, nothing will remain evident of what this battle was, the heroic deeds of the warriors who fought and sacrificed themselves would be forgotten in times. New generation of warriors, blossoming with life will take place of what has been lost and will fullfill their destiny. The sacrifices that were made by my fellow warriors, will be the memories of the time when there were times of extraordinary crisis.

Now all that remains of those glorious people, is me, my scars are the evidences of what i've gone through, but time will heal these wounds, the pain which migh be significant tonight, will be lost in the darkness tomorrow and my wake will bring me to a new dawn.

The drops of rain on my face will wash away thge burns and a triumphant feeling of victory will take over. I will live on with the memories of my great companions who lived and fought by my side, who did what they had to fullfill their destiny, who achieved an atonement, While i was left here to live their tale of glory, to make them invincible and unforgettable. My life is a living testament to all of them, all those whom i can call my brothers and sisters...

Now as the rain has stopped, the burning fires are put out & the smoke and clouds have cleared..
A new ray of sunshine, a new dawn, has made it's way to a newly born blossom on the once battlefield.....

and when i look up into the blue and shining sky, i could see the smiling faces of my fellow warriors to whom my life really belongs!!
